Eventually Im going to start waiting for pairs to hit outlets instead of buying retail if it's $220

These won't sit. No way. No how.

 

[just nikes]

220? damn I love the Nike Air and this is my favorite Jordan. Only getting it if my friend can get me his discount at Finishline lol.

Got a ds 07 pair in 2013 for $180 and don't wear them that much so theyre in good condition. I want the 2016s to have for down the line.

yeah really thats dope.

Whats the shape like on Vs these days. Same as those Fire Reds in 2013/14 (cant remember) or more like the 07 Vs?

Price increase doesn't bother me much if we get quality on par with the 72-10s and SBBs. There are only 2 or 3 Retros I'm interested in for 2016 so it's like an extra $100 or so. Plus, these are in my Top 5 All Time so I would instacop even at $250. May even triple up.

Only 220? Das wassup. I've heard people saying that j's are really expensive nowadays. but 220 is not bad. Not bad at all.

I feel sorry for you if you believe being able to afford 220 dollar sneakers qualifies you as being "rich".

its not that, its just $220 or $240 with tax being " not bad at all " just sounds very strange to me. These are close to resell prices. By all means pay whatever you want, it's just your initial comment saying, "heard people saying that j's are really expensive nowadays. but 220 is not bad. Not bad at all." made you look pretty pretentious being that many don't like the price WHICH IS very HIGH.

Yeah, I understand what you're saying. I didn't mean to come off as pretentious, sorry.

Thank you, I appreciate it.  I'm a unique person and proud to be one.

I figured the maroons were 220 bc of how it's a solid leather model and maybe cost more but wow 220 for these? 237 after tax this way. Gettin a tad wild now. Will wait it out till them grapes drop eventually.....I thought the increase to 190 for GRS was because of being remastered what the world are they doing to us lol.

 Yeah it costs them $30 to stitch the NA in the back with a machine. They're getting out of hand lol.

No, $10 for the stitching; $20 for Jordan to bless over them:

If Nike is serious about expanding Jordan Brand apparel, it would do well to cut down on the overly matchy matchy apparel and minimize the branding. Sorry but I don't want to walk around looking like a billboard.

That's all we have to do as consumers: just go after less releases. Pretty sure Jordan Brand wants to expand its customer base anyway. The less releases each of us goes after, the more pairs become available for the "average" sneaker consumer to wander into FTL and pick up.

This!!!!!!!!!!!!

hope so man maybe it's the nike air models that go for 220...guess they figure collectors will drop collector prices...if they do drop and leave em in vault for a long time I could see the value in the late 300 early 400 eventually but we rockin em round here
